After portraying serious roles like the ones in the award-winning Kaal Purush and Taxi No 9211, actress Sameera Reddy has taken off on a funny tangent.

The actress in playing the filmy avatar, of the famous TV sleuth Karamchand's assistant, Kitty in Abbas-Mustan's Race. The actress plays a character called Lovely, who is as dim-witted as Kitty as she keeps asking Anil Kapoor's character moronic questions. Besides, the soon-to-release Race, the actress has another comic role in Kumar Mangat's One Two Three. The film is directed by Ashwini Dheer, the writer of TV show Office Office and is produced by Eros. The actress will be seen romancing Paresh Rawal in the movie. The actress plays a corporate car showroom executive, who sheds her formal jacket when she has to use her oomph to allure customers. Sameera confessed to being a big fan of the movie Munnabhai MBBS. Apparently, when she saw the film, she wondered why she was not doing such films. It led her to think about why she was allowing herself to be typecast. That's when she decided that comedy is just right for her.
